One day with OnsiteBoard
Five things you already do, in one app.
-
Book.
Customers pick a day and a window on your booking link. Or paste their text, "Weekly mowing, about a quarter acre, front and back": the name, phone, address and the job are filled in for you to check. Either way it lands in the app, and you confirm the booking.
-
Drive.
Tap On my way. The status changes, a text to the customer opens with your message already written, and navigation opens to the address.
-
Do the work.
A repeat visit opens with its services already on it. For a one-time job, tap Draft: service lines are proposed from your notes and priced from your list, for you to check.
-
Sign.
For a cleanup or a mulch job, send the estimate first. The customer approves it from the link, or signs on your phone with the total above the pad.
-
Get paid.
Send the invoice by text or email, with your terms at the bottom. The customer can pay by card from the link and add a tip. Card payments run through Stripe; its standard fees apply. Cash or check? Record it on the job.
What's in the box
What you get on day one.
Your day, in time windows
Jobs sit in the arrival windows you set, 8–10, 10–12, and so on, with a reminder before each one.
Booking requests from your link
Customers pick a day and a window on your booking link, and you confirm. Or paste their text, and the name, phone, address and job are filled in for you to check.
Lawn care services, ready to go
Nine common jobs to start from, a $50 mow, edge and blow to a $225 seasonal cleanup, each with a starting price you change in Settings.
Mowing that repeats
Set visits to repeat weekly, every 2, 3 or 4 weeks, monthly or longer. The next visits go on your schedule.
An off-season
On weekly schedules, set a slower rhythm, or no visits, for part of the year. On monthly and longer schedules, set no visits for part of the year.
Stops in your order
Open the day's route and drag the stops into order. Recurring visits keep their place next time.
Rain day
Move every visit that hasn't started from one day to another, same arrival windows. Then you get the list of customers to text.
Couldn't service
Gate locked, dog in the yard, customer asked to skip, weather: pick the reason and the visit closes as not serviced. You choose no charge, a trip fee or the full price. Charge a trip fee or the full price only if your customer agreed to it beforehand.
Bill each visit or by the month
Invoice each visit, or once a month: a flat monthly amount, or the month's completed visits added up.
Hours and cubic yards, counted
Hedges, weeding and leaf removal start as hourly lines, mulch as a per cubic yard line: 3 cu yds × $95.00.
The property on the line
Mowing, cleanup and labor lines start with Property, Found and Service blanks. Filled in, they print under the line. Left empty, they don't.
Visit report by link
After a visit, send the customer a link they open, with the photos you choose.
Draft from your notes
Tap Draft and the service lines are proposed from the job's notes, for you to check. Prices come from your list only; you edit and save.
Deposits on estimates
Ask for a deposit on an estimate, as a percentage or any amount. Record it when it comes in, and the invoice counts it as paid.
Signed on your phone or online
The customer signs on your screen, with the total right above the pad, or approves the estimate from a link.
Paid by card, no reader
Customers can pay the invoice by card from a link and add a tip. Card payments run through Stripe; its standard fees apply.
Remind in one tap
Finished jobs that still owe money show the balance in red on your schedule, with a Remind button that writes the text for you.
Reports that answer the question
Money collected, tips included, jobs completed, average ticket and what's still owed, by week, month or year.
Also in there: customer search by name, street or phone, with every past job · import from a spreadsheet or CSV, export any time · one-tap On my way, with a ready-made text and navigation · alerts when a customer books, signs or pays · message templates · a PDF of every estimate and invoice · your terms at the bottom of every estimate and invoice · caller ID on iPhone · in the phone app, jobs save without signal and sync later · your trade in Settings, so the service list and the assistant fit lawn care.
Mowing that repeats. Set it up once.
Most of the week is the same yards on the same days. A new set of recurring visits starts from Mow, edge & blow at your price, and you choose the rest.
- 1
Pick the service.
Mow, edge & blow starts at $50 and Mowing, large lot at $85. Change either in Settings, or put your own lines on the visits.
- 2
Pick how often.
Weekly, every 2, 3 or 4 weeks, monthly and longer. Choose the weekday and the arrival window.
- 3
Set the off-season.
On weekly schedules, a slower rhythm, or no visits, for part of the year. On monthly and longer schedules, no visits for part of the year.
- 4
Choose the billing.
Each visit, or monthly: a flat amount, or the month's completed visits added up. Monthly invoices wait in Alerts for you to review and send.
The lot size is what you or the customer give it; OnsiteBoard doesn't measure the lawn. A single visit can be skipped, and a customer's visits can be paused or stopped from their card.

A Book Online button for your website.
Every account comes with its own booking page. Put the link behind a button on your website, or anywhere you list your business, and customers send a booking request for a window you're free; you confirm it with one tap.
- Your windows. The page offers the arrival windows you set in Settings, and nothing else.
- Only times you're really free. The page reads your schedule, including jobs you put in by hand, so a customer can't book on top of work you already have.
- Notice you control. Set the earliest day in Settings: one day means a full 24 hours from the moment they book.
- It lands in the app for you to confirm. Name, phone, address and what they need done, in the arrival window they picked, with an alert on your phone. Tap Confirm booking and the customer gets their confirmation email.
- Written for your trade. The "What needs doing?" box and its example follow the trade you picked: "weekly mowing, about a quarter acre, front and back".
- One window, one request. Two people on the page at once can't both take the same window.

Two small things you'll use every day.
Know who's calling.
Your customers' names show on incoming calls, even when they're not in your contacts. Pick up knowing it's a customer. iPhone only.
A text becomes the customer.
Paste the message and tap Fill in from message. "Weekly mowing, about a quarter acre, front and back…" becomes the customer's name, phone and address, with the job in the notes, for you to check. Then save and add the job.
Send the invoice from the truck.
Text the invoice. The customer opens it, signs it, and can pay by card and add a tip. Card payments run through Stripe; its standard fees apply. No app on their side. No card reader on yours.
- A hosted invoice page. Every estimate and invoice is a link you send by text or email. The customer sees the line items, the hours and cubic yards counted, the totals and the balance due. No account, no download.
- Sign online. The customer signs to approve, right on the page. An estimate can be declined, too, and you're told either way.
- Card payments. The customer can pay the balance by card from the invoice page. Card payments run through Stripe; its standard fees apply. The customer's card number never touches OnsiteBoard.
- Tips, built in. The invoice page offers no tip, 10%, 15% or 20%. Each tip is its own line in the job's payment history.
- The deposit counts. Money taken on the estimate shows as Paid so far, so the customer only pays the balance.
- Your Stripe account. You connect your own Stripe account from Settings, inside the app. Stripe may ask to verify your identity.
- Cash and check, too. Record any payment on the job. Reports show what's been paid and what's still owed; the job's payment history shows each payment and each tip.
- Still unpaid? Remind in one tap. A finished job that still owes money shows the balance in red on your schedule. Tap Remind and a text with the amount and the invoice link is ready to send.
Same account. Bigger screen.
The browser dashboard is for the evening at the desk: the week, the quotes, and who still owes you.
- Today at a glance. What's on today, what came in this week, what's outstanding.
- The week as a grid. Your time windows down the side, days across. An empty cell is a free window.
- Today's stops, in order. The drive between each pair in miles and minutes, and a map, all estimated from the addresses on the jobs. Open the whole day in a maps app in one click.
- Needs attention. Unpaid invoices by age, and payments and bookings as they come in.
Nothing to install. Same sign-in as the phone. Book jobs, edit customers, send invoices, run reports and export CSV, with a keyboard.
Bring your customers and jobs with you.
Export a customer list or a job history from your old app or spreadsheet, as .xlsx or CSV, and pick it in Customers. A job history comes in too: each past job with its total and payment, so your work history and revenue reports are there from day one. OnsiteBoard works out which kind of file it is and shows you what it found before anything is imported.
It's built not to double anyone up. Every row is matched against the customers you already have — by phone number first, then by name and address. A match only gets its blank details filled in, nothing you typed is overwritten, and a repeat is skipped. Run the same file twice and you get the same customers, not two of each. Everything exports back out any time.
